I've split the commit introducing the timer D handling to use=20 handle_simple_irq in the first instance, and switch to handle_polled_irq in a separate commit. We can leave out=20 that one (and the commit introducing handle_polled_irq) for upstream submission for now, and=20 revisit the issue once we have feedback from linux-kernel and linux-netdev. I'd also leave out the USB= =20 patches for now - the changes to the ISP116x driver are far too intrusive for my taste. Geert: only patches touching code outside arch/m68k have to go to=20 linux-netdev? Next on my TODO: Amiga ESP SCSI (I've let that one sit for too long) Cheers, Michael
